Japanese Major Leaguer (MLB) superstar Shohei Ohtani (29, Los Angeles Dodgers) announced the surprise wedding announcement, and Japanese media reported that his wife, who has not been identified, is a former Japanese women’s basketball player.
On the 1st, the Japanese media “News Post Seven” announced that Ohtani’s wife is a former Japanese female basketball player who started playing basketball in middle school and graduated from a prestigious private university. The media also said that the woman has been active on the world stage and has been modeling. The woman left the business group last year and retired to the U.S. and reportedly deleted her social network service account.
In response, Japanese Internet users assume that the female media picked was Mamiko Tanaka (28). Tanaka is from Waseda University in Japan and played center role in the Japanese women’s professional basketball team “Fujitsu Red Wave” in 2019. She was selected as a candidate for the Japanese national team in August 2021, but retired from active service after the 2022-2023 season.
There was also a claim that a woman who appeared to be Tanaka appeared in a training video of Ohtani. The video is believed to have been filmed at a Dodgers camp, and a woman is watching Ohtani being trained from a distance. It also fits into Ohtani’s ideal type. Ohtani said that tall, sincere, and positively energetic person is his ideal type.
Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700 million (9333.8 billion won) contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in December last year. He met expectations by hitting a home run in his first exhibition game on the 28th, and will take the mound in the Seoul Series of Major League Baseball next month. Due to the influence of surgery on his right elbow in September last year, he is expected to focus on batters this season.
Meanwhile, Ohtani played as the second designated hitter in an exhibition game against the Cleveland Guardians of the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) at Glendale Camelback Ranch in Arizona on the 2nd (Korea time), the first game since the wedding announcement.
